Keeping Our Girls Safe (KOGS) is a charity in Oldham which works with girls and young women to raise awareness of grooming, exploitation and unhealthy relationships. 

They explore sensitive issues through arts projects, helping raising awareness whilst enabling young people to explore and express their creativity. One of the groups KOGS are currently working with is a group of young women who are deaf, three of whom are Czech and have limited English (they have their own signers). KOGS have found that using the arts works as an effective way to transcend the language barriers and allow the girls to explore topics and demonstrate understanding in a creative way.
